What is METS?

METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) is an XML schema for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library. It is commonly used to package digital objects together with their metadata, facilitating their storage, management, and exchange. METS provides a flexible mechanism for linking different types of metadata (e.g., descriptive metadata using Dublin Core, technical metadata using MIX) to the digital object it describes. It is often used in digital repositories and archives.
